Obama's Thuggocracy (Commentary)
Fox News ^ | May 21, 2010 | Andrea Tantaros

Posted on 05/21/2010 10:39:03 AM PDT by jazusamo

From the G.M. bondholders, to the Black Panthers at polling stations, to ACORN to the mobs showing up at the homes of private citizens, Obama is running a Hugo Chavez-style thuggocracy.

This past Sunday, in one of the most aggressive and offensive intimidation tactics to date, hundreds of members of the largest union – the SEIU – stormed the front yard of Bank of America deputy general counsel Greg Baer’s home. The angry mob had bullhorns, signs and even broke the law by trespassing to bully Baer’s teenage son, the only one home at the time, who locked himself in the bathroom out of fear.

This is what unions do. They pressure politicians into spending too much. They push government into bad policy decisions. They sacrifice the private sector for the public sector. And now, they trespass and break the law only to scare the children of private citizens to get their way. If you think the unions are working along, think again.

These protests, the ones storming Wall Street bank lobbies and now the private homes of bankers, are likely being carefully coordinated with the White House to increase their profile against the financial fat cats and help pass disgraced Connecticut Senator Chris Dodd’s financial regulatory bill.

Remember, when the White House visitor records were finally made public, it was SEIU boss Andy Stern who was the most frequent guest.

There are also no coincidences in politics. The bill passed the Senate last night.

From the G.M. bondholders, to the Black Panthers at polling stations, to ACORN to these assaults on private citizens, Obama is running a Hugo Chavez-style thuggocracy. Like Chavez, he gets non-official "allies" to act as his henchemen and do the intimidation work...

Probably something going on in the background. Something Obama wants BofA to do. When they agree the union mobs will move on.

Wonder what that is?

Have no idea but you’re probably right.

Home invasion equals dead SEIU thugs. Just be sure you have extra magazines.

Did everyone notice what a good job the MSM did in covering these thugs? Did you notice how the Democrats and the MSM denounced the violence and law breaking? Did you notice the swift and thorough response from law enforcement and the Justice Department?

Obama and the Democrats do not want the government to protect American citizens. We're on our own now.

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

- The Second Coming
by William Butler Yeats

Thank You! :-)

Before I posted the piece I looked her up on Fox because her name was familiar, I only found her in a video with Bob Beckel. What a contrast! LOL

Does anyone remember the name of that web-site Obama set up for us to turn people in for suspicious activity?

I want to file a report about SEIU.

Too bad the boy didn’t have a gun. He would have been justified in using it.

“Tresspassers will be shot, survivors will be shot again.””

That is the rule on this property.
